Easy installation for building materials

Rolls arrived within a day of ordering and were exactly as described. In addition to the manufacturer's video, several different installation videos were viewed on the Revain order page. There were many options for the overall installation and especially for safely replacing the rollers on the bottom bracket as the cable connected is under high tension. One of the best recommendations I've seen was to just lift the door all the way up and check the cable for tension or slack. When I got to the other side of the door, I lifted it all the way up. will go over the rail and the cable is really slack so it would be perfectly safe to remove the shackle to change the reel. In the end I got lucky. Taking a closer look at the lower pulley mounting bracket, I found that it was attached to the cable anchor but separate from it. This mount was attached directly to the door with a cable attached to it and the reel mount was bolted on separately. All I had to do was loosen two nuts, remove the bracket, replace the pulley, and then reattach. Most doors probably won't be that easy, but the slack in the cable with the door fully open was definitely enough to safely pull the shackle and swap out the pulley without pulling the cable out of control. forward, and even without an impact wrench, it only took about 30 minutes with a standard ratchet wrench.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
